Details
This study investigates the feasibility of designing products from industrial waste at a micro-pile establishment using Upcycle processes. It aims to create unique, commercially viable prototypes through creative innovation and the 3Rs framework.
This study investigates the feasibility of designing products from industrial waste materials at a micro-pile establishment through the Upcycle process, guided by creative innovation principles and the 3Rs framework. Key aspects include:
- Prototype Development: Examining the types and potential of discarded materials to develop distinctive decorative and household product prototypes.
- Collaboration: Achieved through collaboration among academic institutions, the industrial establishment, craftsmen, and the local community.
- Impact: The resulting prototypes demonstrate viable commercial potential while serving as a practical knowledge base for entrepreneurs, designers, and start-ups seeking to develop new products from waste materials in a creative and sustainable manner.
Objective
The project aims to explore the potential of waste materials for creative Upcycling, enhance economic value, reduce environmental impact, and provide design knowledge for entrepreneurs and the community.
- To study the types and potential of discarded materials for creative Upcycling, fostering innovative concepts that generate economic value while reducing environmental problems for industrial establishments through redesign and reuse.
- To present knowledge on design and value-added product development by experimenting with and designing based on the types and potential of unused materials for creative Upcycling.
- To benefit project stakeholders, including industrial owners, participating communities, and product users, by providing a model for further study in creative Upcycling.
